I am trying to calculate how much a steel bushing that is press fit into a steel housing will shrink on the ID so that i can tolerance the shaft that goes through it properly. I have not had any luck finding this calculation.

Thanks,
Kurt

Hello to all that have helped.

I have been in contact with A. Slocum who did the calcs on the engineersedge website desertfox directed me to.

This web site has a lot of excel calcs you can down load.

The press fit calc is called "joint_press_fit.xls"

I am currently using the Areabefore = Areaafter (sugested by "Thetick") therory to determin the ID after press fit.

Thankyou for your help.
Kurt
